Postcode and Mickster - their 250th games

Two Moonee Valley stalwarts - "Postcode" Peter Smith and Michael "Mickster" Cumbo - played their 250th games for our great club on the January 29/30 weekend.
While the results didn't go quite as planned - the Sixths went down off the second ball of the final over in Peter's game, and the Sevenths weren't able to put together a competitive total in Mickster's milestone match - it was still wonderful to see our players recognised for their service to the club.

Postcode's milestone game was the Saturday, and he backed up for game 251 to help Mickster celebrate his game the next day.
Peter has been a constant at Moonee Valley since he came down in 2001/02, although work commitments and injury have made some of his seasons a bit sporadic. He's inching towards 1000 runs, and is well placed to get to the 350-wicket mark by the end of this season.

Mickster joined the Valley the season prior, and his more than 2500 runs and a respectable 37 wickets to his name - as well as a Premiership flag, a hat-trick and a century.
He's been playing the last couple of seasons closer to his Werribee home, but decided to come back and bring up his miletone game with the Valley.
